We got some more good news. Right after the Amazonian Disease Vector Microbiome project got funded by National Geographic, the 'Response of freshwater microbes to increasing temperatures and nitrogen deposition' project was funded by the Eppley foundation. This grant will pay for one-week sample collection trip in Iceland in July and RNA/DNA sequencing of freshwater biofilm samples from experimental channels and from natural streams in the Hengill Valley, Iceland. This is great news and we very much appreciate the support of the Eppley Foundation for our research efforts.
